He had a very interesting nautical career, over the years, He was once offered a job as tug skipper with Seatow, but he said at that time the thought of towing coal laden barges in and out of Greymouth, and having to run the bar didn,t really appeal to him. He later wrote a book entitled THOSE IN PERIL about his seafaring career, which was published in 2008. He was living at Taupo at that time.
